Heck, I saw an adapter plate once to put a Volvo engine in a Vanagon.
I've never seen pictures of one actually installed, though.  I don't think
I'd recommend it.  While the Volvo B230 is extremely durable, and its
torque curve feels pretty similar to a VW boxer engine, it's one of the
most thrashy, coarse, and unrefined engines I've ever seen.  And at 114
horsepower it's not exactly a fire breather. ;)
